Slightly off-topic, but I'd love an answer here. Is there any language at all, outside of the .NET stack, that has the kind of tools support java has? I'm talking about IDE with automatic refactoring, a wealth of plugins, instant squiggly-line syntax checking, source crossreferencing of libraries, etc? The only reason I use Java is Eclipse. I'd love to see another language that addresses Java's deficiencies but still has the same tool integration as Java. And I don't want to go over to the .NET side, sorry.

- wlievens 17y agoI figured. I'm just often looking for a justification of why I'm using a sometimes crippled language, but it always turns out my productivity and the quality of my code is higher when using Eclipse/Java.
